Defectors from the French army to the Algerian army, and more generally the Algerian power structure, including such key generals as Khaled Nezzar, Mohamed Lamari, Larbi Belkheir, Mohamed Touati, and Abbas Gheziel.
This faction gained power after 1988, especially during the
eradicationist (favouring no dialogue with Islamist guerrillas in the context of the Algerian Civil War
).
Detractors claim that this faction has longstanding close ties with the French government,Algerian War of Independence. A particularly notable detractor, ex-Prime Minister Abdelhamid Brahimi, assigns them the primary blame for the coup of 1992 and the ensuing Algerian Civil War.[3]
